Sakleshpur Trek With Waterfalls

Trekking at a relatively smaller destination within a limited time period offers several benefits over the traditional long duration trekking trips. Shakleshpur is one such trekking destination that provides the participants an experience of a lifetime as they traverse through this picturesque destination located in Karnataka’s Hasan district. What makes Sakleshpur trek with waterfalls even more attractive for adventure seekers is that they can enjoy various water sports activities here besides climbing up and down a most enchanting trekking trail.

Unlike the other trekking trips that can be completed over a weekend, the Shaklespur adventure enables the participants to experience the hospitality of a homestay. The unique feature of Shakleshpur homestay provides the participants a unique opportunity to understand the simple lifestyle of the people living in the wilderness. Surrounded by lush green beauty, the trekkers experience the fun of living a stress free life amidst the calm and soothing environments. Although the experience lasts for only a couple of hours, it has a deep impact on the mind and soul of the visitors, who crave for such solace in their lives in big cities.

In addition to the homesaty in Shakleshpur, the trekkers are often left enchanted by the sight of the various waterfalls existing in the region. Murkannu Gudda and Haldu are the two most prominent waterfalls in the region that make for a captivating scene. Participants can enjoy the fun of getting drenched underneath the gushing water of the falls or they can choose to simply take in the amazing view of the falls and their beautiful surroundings from a distance. The visitors can also enjoy the view of the lush green sea that seems to be emerging from beneath the falls to spread out in every direction.

Undertaking the Shakleshpur trek often makes the participants fall in love with the destination. Not only is their thirst for adventure quenched during this trip, but they also get an opportunity to enjoy the simple pleasures of life that bring far greater satisfaction to them than the best luxuries they can buy with money. Most importantly, the trekking trip introduces the participants to some of the best aspects of nature, which are quite unimaginable in the concrete jungles that modern cities have turned into. Despite being a popular destination amongst adventure seekers, the region retains a surreal and mystic aura that makes the visitors return here quite frequently. The beauty of the destination can be imagined from the fact that it is often referred to as “the poor man’s Ooty,” which also explains the simple ways of living followed by the people here.
